LG Electronics this week will begin rolling out the highly anticipated Android 5.0 Lollipop upgrade for G3 smartphones starting in Poland this week, to be followed by other markets in the near future. This latest Android OS delivers a host of improvements including a new design language with added depth, shadows and animations. Notifications are improved with a new layout and color scheme and will be available on the new lock screen. A new security feature to strengthen the connectivity between devices will include enabling users to unlock their smartphone when it is physically near a pre-registered Bluetooth device such as the LG G Watch or G Watch R. Lollipop also introduces Android Runtime (ART) software to improve performance.

LG is also ready to take its KizON wearable device for pre-school and primary school children overseas.

The small device gives parents a simple way to keep track of their youngsters’ whereabouts using their smartphones. It offers eal-time information of a wearer’s location but also gives children the ability to communicate directly with heir parents via the One Step Direct Call button. What’s more, KizON also includes Location Reminder, which allows parents to pre-set the device to provide location alerts at specific times throughout the day. Battery life is rated at 36 hours and when the power level drops to 20 percent, a voice notification alert and text message is activated to inform the wearer and parent to recharge the device.

KizON has been certified for meeting specific environmental guidelines by TUV Rheinland and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) Environment.

KizON will be available this week in Poland, and later in other European markets.
